Life in the Background ||| A Miraculous Y/N Fic

(4) Flowers and Way Too Much Running Makes One Hell of a Day

Hello journal! I have returned after a bunch of days. I didn't really write for a while because there wasn't anything really interesting to put in here.

So I'll summarize:

- Chloe had a party to make up for being a jerk (that I wasn't invited to), which I learned about AFTER Alya and I got kidnapped by Prime Queen.
- My mom and my dad flipped out about that for different reasons
- Adrien and Marinette apparently got a girl akumatized over a fencing match
- Marinette had a birthday party (that I also was not invited to), and her Grandma got akumatized, which I learned about when people were talking about it in class.
- Max brought a robot friend of his in class (named Markov) and Markov got akumatized.
- And finally, our principal had what I can only describe as a mid-life crisis and got akumatized.

And today, I wasn't exactly involved in an akuma attack, but something happened that was... kind of weirder.

But weird things happen all the time in Paris.

How do people get used to this?

It all started when I got a call from Alya.

"Hey, girl!"

I smiled. "Hi, Alya. What's up?"

"The girls and I are meeting up at Marinette's house to help her with a special project that she needs help with. You wanna come?"

"Of course!" I said, starting to walk towards the door.

"If you could be here in about... five minutes, that would be perfect. Thanks, girl!"

Alya hung up the phone, and I put my phone in my pocket.

Wait, I should probably tell my parents where I'm going-

"Hey, Mom?" I called out.

Silence.

"Mommmm?"

Still no reply.

"MOMMMMMMM?!"

From across the hallway, Mom poked her head out of her office and called back, "Whaaaatttt?"

"Can I go to Marinette's house to help her with a project?" I asked, reaching for the doorknob.

Mom replied, "Sure, sweetie, just be careful and watch out for akumas!"

I nodded, and said, "Will do. Bye, Mom!"

I left, and started my walk to the Dupain-Cheng Bakery.

I was the last one to arrive. I walked up to her room, and saw the other girls in my class sitting around Alya and Marinette. "Oh, Y/N's here! We can start," Alya said, pulling down a whiteboard thingy from the ceiling.

Marinette looked surprised to see me, for some reason, then whispered to Alya, "Hey, why did you invite Y/N?"

Alya glanced at her, very confused, and whispered back, "She's a member of our class and my friend, Marinette. Why wouldn't I invite her?"

"Well, I don't think that she'll want to help with the... thing," Marinette whispered to Alya.

"You know we can hear you guys, right?" Alix sighed, facepalming.

Marinette blushed and jumped away from Alya. "Oh! Sorry about that... I just thought- er- nevermind."

Alya cleared her throat as I sat down. "Thanks for showing up, girls. So, check this out. I've got the BIGGEST scoop! But FYI, it's seriously hush-hush. Top secret, classified information."
